Anzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, is full of fireworks and sinister shadows are lurking in the city.
The female judge Su Jie, who breaks the worldly prejudices, and a group of companions who have their own weaknesses and perseverance, use physical evidence as a blade and people's hearts as a mirror to solve five mysterious cases one after another. Jealousy, greed, backlash from desperate situations, paranoia and infatuation, cowardice and connivance, reveal the good and evil hidden under the skin of mortals. There are no deified detectives here, only a group of people who are burdened to move forward, pursuing the buried truth in the half-light and half-darkness of the world...
